Chapter 361: Mauser as a Gift
Without saying anything else, Xu Hao immediately said: "Speaking of which, the gifts brought by this trip are all given to the British government, in fact, I also have gifts for the king of your country, I can give them to you, and then you will transfer them for me." ”
Christina immediately changed her expression and said, "What is it?" I want to ......"
Xu Hao waved his hand and said, "Mauser, it's definitely the latest good thing!" I bet it's definitely up to date!"
Xu Hao suddenly felt that he was possessed by the Poly Group at this moment, he inherited the tradition of selling weapons at both ends, at this moment he is not alone, British imperialism, American imperialism, Vantage are all in the same breath, the ultimate form of imperialism, international arms dealers, here to meet!
Mauser is a standard German name, but it was named the name of the firearm by the Chinese, which is very strange, but he did not explain too much, in this pre-industrial era, not to mention anything else, the protagonist of the legendary three musketeers, the real body of d'Artagnan, Charlie Casdelmo, the Count of d'Artagnan, but just 30 years old, in this era, the main weapon of the musketeer is actually the sword, and the arms play the role of first firing a shot to deter the opponent when they are in close combat.
The first industrial revolution established the replacement of cold weapons with hot weapons, and the machine guns of the second industrial revolution established the neutralization of the tactics of the sea of people, and established the fact that the industrial powers crushed the agricultural countries.
Of course, our dear British Empire is still in excess at this time, if, Xu Hao is saying if, all of a sudden, Charles I is given a hundred rifles, and the bullets are enough, he stabilizes the situation of the war......
Li Xiangqian once commented on the British civil war, after the civil war, Cromwell could not find a suitable form of government, he could only reluctantly be a legitimate protector, and the royal family was restored after his death, many years later, the Glorious Revolution, everyone finally found out that in fact, there is no king and there is no way to live without a king.
Although it was a civil war, it did not damage its strength, it did not hurt its vitality, and it was all rich and powerful nobles who beat it back and forth, and the British land area was only the size of a province, and there was no situation of a major war, and a few small-scale battles locked the war situation.
Of course, as an island nation, the British naturally ran away from the population pressure, and the landless peasants during the enclosure movement were also wailing in the dirt.
Although Christina was puzzled, she also began to agree on the place of the next contact, and as she expected, these people who came from afar only cared about their own purposes, and did not completely fall to the traitors.
Moreover, the excuse for contact is also easy to find, through simple communication, she knows that this Oriental is only in his early twenties, such an age can take on a big responsibility, and he wants to be on the side of the nobility of that country, Christina is even a few months older than Xu Hao's claimed age, it can be said that if the two people suddenly have a passionate relationship, they will meet often, although they will be looked at strangely, but they will not insult their reputation, after all, this is a big man who has such a warship at such an age.
It's not that the aristocracy doesn't look at the money and only looks at the bloodline and face, if there is money that can smash people unconscious......
Xu Hao also took this opportunity to learn about some of Charles I's movements, of course, in the case of Christina's extreme beautification.
The situation of Charles I, according to the Chinese, is a bear child, a good hand of cards was played by him to that extent, in fact, everything is very simple, the king needs to pay taxes, but the subjects with hard wings do not want to pay taxes, so he convened several successive parliaments, the last parliament is even called a long-term parliament, history proves that it is this long-term parliament that wants his life!
opened the parliament, so careful thinking, and Charles I, in order to raise military spending, the inner town of Scotland, the outer colony, at first I thought about compromise, but the big nose and face of the untouchables are getting more and more inches, although they have one mind, no matter what kind of independence faction, equality card, elder oath faction, although it fully proves what is called the temple demon wind, the pond shallow demon wind, but everyone unanimously scolded the king is definitely politically correct.
Why is this happening? Quite simply, European countries were feudal states before, that is, the king divided the land to the nobles to obtain allegiance, but the king could not manage the affairs of the nobles' fiefs, and he was really a poor commander.
Although it is difficult for the political power to go down to the village level, as long as it belongs to a strong political power, it can always have full control over the county level.
The Presbyterians of Scotland, the Anglican Church in England, the Roman Catholics of Ireland, and the Puritan leaders of the Parliamentary Army, although these men were more inclined to fight with each other if the conflict broke out, but Charles I was finally betrayed to London by the Oath Faction.
Xu Hao's mind was full of strange goods, and she didn't care about telling Christina about her situation, when she knew that Xu Hao really only had one ship, although there were hundreds of people on board, but there were mostly workers and artists, the disappointed expression was overflowing.
Suddenly, there was a voice, as if someone was shouting, "Where is he?"
"Finally remembered to come to me, well, about an hour, which means that the efficiency is still good."
Christina immediately said: "We were just looking at this painting, it's ......"
At this time, the footsteps outside were approaching, but the two had not yet made a good confession, but Xu Hao suddenly thought of a certain movie, what is the name of the movie, what is the rumor, and the actor in it seems to be ......
Thinking of this, he suddenly undressed himself, and under Christina's exclamation, he ripped off his pants and made them loose, and at this time, there was already a knock on the door outside: "Is there anyone?" ”
Xu Hao winked, reached out and messed up Christina's hair, and hurriedly asked her to hide in the house first, and then go over to open the door.
Outside the door was Williams with a few soldiers, who seemed to be very anxious, and after seeing Xu Hao, he seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and said: "Xu, you are not responsible for yourself when you suddenly leave the residence we gave you, the city is now full of assassins, if something happens to you, what should we do?" ”
After he finished speaking, he suddenly saw that Xu Hao seemed to be hurriedly fastening his belt, his face flushed, and he was stunned, and he heard Xu Hao say there: "Ah, I'm admiring the oil paintings collected by the master here with this young lady, well, although the painting style is different from ours, it is also unique, very good." ”
Xu Hao felt that his acting bodyguard, or that he had been in the political circle for a long time, no matter how pure a child was, he had to learn badly, so he quickly got dressed and said: "Today seems to be a young lady's birthday party, it's not polite for you to break in like this, why don't we go downstairs together to apologize." ”
He turned around and said, "Christina, let's go downstairs." ”
Deliberately raised her arm, let her come over to support her, Christina deliberately arranged her hair, making it appear that the two were already disheveled before the door opened, I have to say that women are born actors, at least better than men in this regard.
Williams was dumbfounded, but he quickly retracted his expression and became serious, he still knew this girl, Christina Huntington, the only daughter of an old officer, has always been very peaceful, but suddenly caught up with this foreigner, no one was a little unhappy, but he also greatly admired in his heart, Xu Hao in order to save face, the gifts given were all very rich, with such a nobleman, even if it was a foreign race, because Britain couldn't even be the first in Europe at this time, it would not start to discriminate against other nationalities, In other words, Xu Hao, a person who represents a powerful naval force, does not dare to despise it.
"It seems that if this person marries Christina, it will also be beneficial, but this Chinese seems to have a Portuguese girl next to him, which ......"
He didn't think much and continued to lead the way, but after getting downstairs, several of Christina's friends looked at her differently, in any case, while everyone was talking, pulled a man into the study to make love, although it can't be said that there is none, but it is too much, this Chinese has not been off the ship for 48 hours.
Xu Hao said goodbye to Anne Hathaway, who had a birthday, and at the moment of parting, Christina was already holding her hand in the open, and said secretly: "I will visit tomorrow, and I will be disturbed when the time comes." ”
Xu Hao knows that the following is the real content, this girl will inevitably go back to the people behind her to communicate, to see what price she can offer, and she has to think about it, how to maximize the benefits, there are too many twists and turns, and many things can't be casually literati, so you can only rely on your own hard work, which is naturally inferior to other people's rhetoric.
Williams is actually more difficult, he has the obligation to control this envoy, and there will be more activities in the future, but this person suddenly moved so fast, and actually got a girl, then he seems to have no reason to stop other people's own love activities.
Having said that, how many years has Shakespeare been dead, and the atmosphere of this society has been very open, although it is not enough to get to the two strange white skins on the Paris train after talking to the heart, from strangers to preparing to open a room together for less than an hour, (the real thing) but it is definitely very romantic compared to before.
Of course, Xu Hao doesn't care too much about this, other girls don't care, using the false head of the adulterer ** to cover up the identity of the royalist party is simply an account that can't be more cost-effective, of course, Xu Hao guessed that the reason why she did this was that everyone in the council was dying and couldn't use beauty tricks to deal with herself, and at the same time, she was neither old nor ugly, at least it would not be ashamed to take it out.
However, Xu Hao has to think about how to deal with it, this is a big deal, what he didn't expect was that the royalist party found the door so quickly, in fact, it was also normal, the British Civil War was fought for a long time, basically there was no common people's business, it was all nobles and nobles who were fighting each other, even if ten years later, the comeback counterattacked, the royalist party was not small.
The reason why he chose Britain as his first destination was that he took a fancy to this damn geographical location, which just happened to radiate the whole of Western Europe, and sat there and watched each other kill each other on the European continent, and the fishermen profited, and Britain's diplomatic goals have not changed in the future! Create a divided Europe. Therefore, the Dutch system is Spain, the German system is France, the French and Italian systems are Germany, and the French system is Germany and Italy, and they are divided and controlled.
If you can let China and Britain sign some treaties in new time and space, such as the Sino-British Opium War Treaty, oh, it is the Sino-British treaty of goodwill and friendship, the Sino-British treaty of commerce or something, wouldn't you be famous in history, at least this kind of unequal treaty, uh, well, the unequal is the opposite of the foreigners, in fact, in this era, whoever hugs the thighs of the elders, can get something to lose is definitely better than their enemies.
Eliza stayed at home and did not leave, but the learning of Chinese is very rapid, can already have a conversation, and watch how far China is on the map, after a night of silence, Xu Hao was picked up during the day the next day, under the protection of the guard company continued to hold a meeting with a group of British old men, the response was enthusiastic, it turned out that after they tried the microscope, for the meaning of this representation, although they did not really understand, but also understood that they seemed to have received some amazing teaching, not to mention anything else, this technical strength, Not in the whole of Europe.
Therefore, they are convinced of what Xu Hao said, the knowledge of bacteriology, after all, they are all dozens of years old men, fear of death is inevitable, children who have always been strong in blood regard death as home, and dozens of years old men are afraid of death.
They were completely convinced that most of the deaths of people were due to germs, which of course could not be said to be a mistake, and the spread of hygiene was beneficial for the elders to enter Europe to do business, and these old English men understood one thing at that time under the reminder of some doctors and professors.
The Chinese who came to Europe with microscopes must be more proficient in the medical skills of treating various diseases!
And they found that Xu Hao did not carry relevant medical information, so they immediately began to ask and demand.
In this era, Europeans also have the legendary bloodletting therapy, all kinds of witch doctors are endless, in fact, there is not much effect, the average life expectancy of this era is not much higher than that of China, and suddenly find that their hands are full of this kind of small insects crawling on their bodies, everyone has to be stimulated to a certain extent.
Xu Hao is naturally reasoning with facts, it is nothing more than that he wants to educate, but many things are not good at him, you can organize some international students to study in the imperial capital, although you need to pay tuition fees to study medicine, it will not be too expensive.
The mouth talks about ism, and the heart thinks about business.
That night, Christina suddenly appeared, of course, as soon as they met, she put her arms around Xu Hao's arm affectionately, and went upstairs under Eliza's glaring gaze.
"What is this?"
"This is my gift to the king of your country, ten Mauser rifles, a thousand rounds of ammunition, well, that's it."
